A3.5/5.0

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context with 'bounded' (signalling a size-limited overview) and 'exact contract' (hinting at the returned detail level), but says nothing about behavior for an unrecognized tool_name or unsupported topic.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single sentence front-loads the primary mode (tool contract) and appends the alternative mode, with no filler. Slightly dense phrasing ('bounded workflow overview') but nothing is wasted.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

This is a simple read-only lookup tool with a fully described schema, complete annotations and an output schema, so the description need not explain return values. Both invocation modes are covered, leaving only minor gaps around error/fallback behavior.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so tool_name, topic, question and their mutual exclusivity are already fully documented in the schema. The description adds only the notion of a 'bounded workflow overview' mapped to topics, which is baseline-level value when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Names a specific verb and resource ('Describe one tool visible on this facade') and adds a second mode ('bounded workflow overview for one supported topic'), which distinguishes it from the catalog/geography resolver siblings. It does not explicitly name a sibling tool, but the scoping to 'tools visible on this facade' is clear enough to select it correctly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The two available modes are stated, but there is no explicit guidance on when to prefer the tool-contract mode over the topic mode, or on when a topic overview is appropriate. The mutual exclusivity is enforced by the schema rather than explained in prose, so usage is implied rather than directed.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
